"Willy Wonka Soundboard"

This is my first submission here in a while, and this is really an experiment with a slightly different than I usually do for my soundboards. Tell me if you approve! There are over 40 sounds here, and this is a pretty good soundboard for prank calls, so have fun. There are also credits, a bonus movie, and in-game music from my band Gatling.

Also, I realize the background is for the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie, but the sounds are FROM THE ORIGINAL MOVIE! Yes, the one that was actually good!

Crisp, clear and not entirely from the feature presentation, this piece shows that you can produce some pretty good sounding pieces, that put together make for a good piece. What I would say is that the background can be a little confusing here - perhaps fade it out slightly, to make the buttons more prominent.

I think that you could have taken a picture or two from the Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory film - Gene Wilder imagery, as well as those from the Johnny Depp film that was the more recent production of the classic tale.

The bonus movie was shocking - perhaps you need to ditch that all together, though a scope exists for making it into a platform for your latest animation pieces, with the madness style shape assassins.

I can see this getting developed further over your time on Newgrounds, so I look forward to more of your pieces.

Animation/Graphics - The layout was done pretty well. I can't really think of anything else to add to this at all. There isn't much that you can do with the visuals of a soundboard anyway.

Story/Content - You had a lot of things to choose from, but to be honest when I think of a sound board I think of small sentences. Something like three to five words, give or take a couple of words. I think small phrases are much better than anything too long. The new pictures with the old sounds was sort of weird.

Audio - The voices sounded good and were pretty clear. Easy to understand and everything. Decent all around here.

Overall - A very decent soundboard that you have made here. I think the only thing that I recommend is shorting the phrases, but that may be a personal preference more than anything.

Not such a big fan of sound boards, but this was fairly good one. Agreed that the older movie was better than the new one. Although the newer one was better visually, it had a lot of weird scenes and dialogue. So I´m glad you used sounds of the older one.

The lay-out was made fairly well in my opinion. It looked nice and colorful and everything was easy to find and read. The sounds were of a very good quality which is a must in case of soundboards. It was just a bit strange however that some of the sounds were implented twice. Contract had the same lines at the end as You Lose, same goes for Scratch and Reverse and Contract and Chocolate. Perhaps you should´ve just split these up, especially Chocolate since that one was incredibly long.

By the way, I also missed the Umpa Lumpa song, would be nice if you added that somewhere.

Overall 6 out of 10, 3 out of 5. It was good for a soundboard. Did actually enjoy listening to it as it brought back memories from the movie which I last saw a looong time ago. Keep up the good work.

Awesome, thanks for the long review Auz! And about the sounds that appear twice, they are there so you can listen to part of the clip instead of the whole thing, since you can't fast forward through clips. Thanks again
